Soul Calibur players, you've finally got a release date for Soul Calibur 6. It's set to release for the Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC on October 19, 2018!

The release date was revealed at the end of an immersive trailer depicting the story mode for Soul Calibur 6, for which an early build was playable at E3 2018 this week. You can check out that trailer in the Twitter post below!

Pre-orders for Soul Calibur 6 are available RIGHT NOW at bandainamcoent.com. You'll be able to reserve your copy at an online retailer of your choice, and for whatever platform you choose. Right now, only the Standard Edition is available for pre-order, but new versions of the package are expected to be announced throughout the next four months leading up to launch.

Six years after the release of Soul Calibur 5, Soul Calibur 6 brings players back to the Stage of History with a roster packed with familiar faces and newcomers. Combatants will clash in 3D environments using an assortment of weapon-based attacks and 3D movement. The game is set in the 16th century, in the year of 1586, and is purposed to be a retelling of the events taking place in the Soul Calibur era.

In terms of game mechanics, the following are making a return: Guard Impact, Armor Break, Critical Edge (from SCV) and Soul Charge (from SC3). Two new mechanics are also being introduced into the gameplay: Reversal Edge and Lethal Hit.

In keeping with its tradition of integrating guest characters into the fray, Soul Calibur 6 borrows Tekken's Yoshimitsu and The Witcher himself, Geralt of Rivia. The game also introduces a brand new fighter: Grøh, an agent from the Aval Organization. It is unclear if more new characters will be announced at this time.
